Cherry Blossom Festival

The Crab Feast

Organized by Mary Lamb

"The Johns Hopkins Research CrabFeast was a wondeful event. Everyone enjoyed the awesome Crabs, Steamed Corn, Fried Chicken, MD Crab Soup, Hamburgers and Hot Dogs while raising money for a cause very dear to my family and I. The best part about the events is the attendance of Dr. Q., his family and the Q Team. The dedication of these wonderful people makes one realize they really are working as a team to find a cure!“

RUN! RUN! RUN!

John Petrovick: Marathon runner and Fundraising leader

In 2008, the same year he was training for his first marathon, John was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in the right frontal lobe of his brain. One year later, despite the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, he ran a full marathon and raised more than $ 10,000 for Dr Q’s research. He ran again in 2010 and raised another $5000. In 2011, Dr Q decided to run the half-marathon with John and his research team.
